Shows and parades
Shows and parades in Magic Kingdom
Magic Kingdom is the park for parades and fireworks. During the day, parades make their way along Main Street, U.S.A. and a show plays on the stage in front of the castle. In the evening, the night-time parade and the fireworks follow. You'll find the times in the My Disney Experience app.
Happily Ever After
Happily Ever After is the evening show above Cinderella Castle: fireworks, projections on the castle and music from well-known Disney films. The best spots are on Main Street, U.S.A. and in the plaza in front of the castle. If you want to be sure of a good view, you can book a Fireworks Dessert Party, with reserved places at the Garden Plaza.
Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away
Since summer 2025, Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away has been travelling through the park in the evening: a parade full of lights, including a float themed around Peter Pan. During the day there's the Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade, with floats from Disney fairy tales.
Shows at the castle
On the stage in front of Cinderella Castle you can see Mickey's Magical Friendship Faire, with Mickey and his friends. On Main Street, The Dapper Dans, a barbershop quartet, sing. At Casey's Corner a pianist plays.
Meeting Disney characters
You can meet Mickey in the Town Square Theater on Main Street. In Princess Fairytale Hall you'll meet Cinderella, Princess Tiana and other princesses. Ariel sits in her grotto in Fantasyland. You'll also see Peter Pan, Winnie the Pooh and Tigger, Mirabel and the characters from Aladdin, among others.
Parties with a separate ticket
On certain evenings the park is open only to guests with a separate ticket. Until 22 December 2026, Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party takes place on selected evenings, with a Christmas parade, Christmas fireworks and a Christmas show. In the autumn there's Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. From January to July 2027 there are Disney After Hours evenings.
